Unfortunately that lack of aerodynamics means that you could be
getting more than that 34mpg -- if they designed the body a little
better...

Well, the scion migth not be very aerodynamic but it gets 34 mpg on
the highway which is nothing to sneeze at.
I was a bit disappointed in the element getting 24 but thats midpack
for minivans and awesome for an suv whichever one you think it is.
Its just bigger.

That they wanted to make a profit by selling an unusual designed car
to young buyers for low cost? It worked.
As to aerodynamics, 99% of the time these cars are tooling arou

What the hell were they thinking??
"Screw aerodynamics and what we know about fuel consumption!! Let's make a box!"
I hate the new beetles.. I sooo want to flip one over and seesaw on
it. These.. I just want to flip over. Maybe

MI is a no-fault state so I wonder if they consider the Volvo driver
as only responsible for his own property? I wonder if no-fault stops
if there is a death?

Wow that sucks. Wanting to enjoy something like that so much and then
having it turn into a tragedy. I guess on the one hand it does show
how unsafe the old cars were. I've always thought a Phaeton would be
